Cute dragongirls going on adventures and messing up on the way....driland cant compete
Yessss. Now I can watch it!
Henneko's MC is one of the least annoying or braindead leads in a while. He is almost like a real person.
Understandable. Bee Yuno needs a figurine.
Son, what the great gravy are you on about?

A rambunctious hime with epic sword hi-ougis sounds way more appealing than that.

I will defend any yandere guy/girl as humanly possible.
But there is no denying that the girl in Amnesia is stupid.
Yandere girls need love too!

Is that before or after, the Cat statues rebuild his character a few times
Don't know if bee yuno would work as a 3d figure, but I'd love to have a laminated poster of it on my ceiling.

Don't they get love one way or another?

Exactly, which is why I think that it's would be a good thing if the thread slowed down in the next few days. Anyone casually checking into the thread at the moment who isn't used to the kind of content that gets discussed within might just assume that it's all fairly vapid, when in fact that there's plenty of interesting comments and discussions within, as well lots of of enjoyable arguments about favourite characters and so forth. It's just important not to skew too far in a direction where there's far too much 'noise'.

Him losing all his ability to feel shame/fear/embarrassment makes him the ideal foil to all harem antics.

Yokodera seems to be a constant source of entertainment no matter what the stony cats do. He's a cool guy.
Also just gonna link Yunobee here.

Everything is my own doing.
That description is pretty apt for Sword of Truth. On the whole, it is the most dreadful experience of a series with the most contrived bullshit ending I've ever read in a good long while. At best it contains some interesting ideas regarding magic which are never fully explained but mainly it is essentially bad fantasy mixed with a ridiculous amount of softcore pornography.
Crest of Stars all the way.
Also in another fit of
This is why everyone should read Lloyd Alexander's Chronicles of Prydain instead. Because it's a lovely romp through fantasy Wales with a heart warming story about a boy growing up and becoming a hero. And also a flaming sword, horned king, death lord, and of course, an oracular pig.

I'm a fan of teh 14 epsiode i've seen myself but such is the life of this anime it went under the radar for no good reason.

Also I don't remember all that much, but wasn't Ben-To's protag decent?
He's good in the sense thats he is not dense but he did do some pretty weird stuff to his sisters.
Keima Katsuragi, my homeboy

He never asked for it, but god damn did he build a harem.
What? To me the MC from Henneko's like the least realistic harem character of them all. He's totally stripped of his facade and completely acts the way he wants, which is apparently a total pervert/asshole, and still doesn't get anywhere with the girls! What the hell was the point of his wish? Does he really just want to sit at home and masturbate to porn mags all day or something?

I've often said, although not lately, that while a good deal of writing about anime can be found on the internet most of it is unremarkable and some of it is simply garbage. However, there is a few blogs that are worth keeping up with. Here's a roundup of articles worth checking out:
- concretebadgers post about Aku no Hana. He/she also has a fairly good post about Nadia but he/she casually spoils something I'd consider a fairly major revelation so I wouldn't recommend that you read that particular post at all.
- sdshamshel has a fairly good explanation of differentiates Girls und Panzer from other titles in the same ilk.
- Brian regularly posts out posts which contain images from a variety of shows in a given year allowing you to get a taste for what anime looked like in that time period. His post about 1993 is here.
- Helen McCarthy considers how Miyazaki handles the concept of death here.
- For those of you with a bit of time on your hands and who'd like a bit of a history lesson should keep up to date with the Golden Ani-Versary blog, which "Starting in January with 1963 and ending in June with 2012, Golden Ani-Versary will bring you the thoughts and musings from anime bloggers and writers all around the world about what made anime such a memorable commodity. Every week we will introduce a new year, chronologically in order to the best of our extent, and present the titles that defined that year. "
- This isn't really anime related, although he has written about anime before, but anyone with a passing interest in film form and the visual language of film should keep up to date with the Acephalous blog. His dissections of individual episodes of Mad Men, Game of Thrones and many other works always make me feel like I'm barely scratching the surface with my own analysis.

That was awfully tiring for something that took less time than a trip to the bathroom, it was also LEWD. AIM FOR S2.

I disagree, because hes being actually changed by events in the show. His normal self seems fairly realistic.
Slayers Next 5
So in this episode Lina freaks out over some slugs, which I thought funny, because this girl killed the Dark Lord but icky things still, well, ick her out. While freaking out, she turns to Gourry (totally no feelings for him) and cries for her mom, dad, and then sister. Lina's sister's only been brought up a couple times, and she kind of reminds me of Eddy's brother from Ed, Edd n Eddy. Hopefully Lina's sister doesn't suck as much.
Then there was some Zelgadis and Amelia teasing.
Then a creepy scene where a mad scientist revived his bride but she Came Back Wrong.

~ How can we have the size advantage and still be surrounded? ~
And so, von Fahrenheit becomes the first Admiral to die in this battle of legends. And although he and Bittenfeld fell for Yang's tricks, I feel there has been done enough damage to soften them up for the main fleet's invasion.
Pretty crafty trick though to convince Mecklinger the fleet is larger than it actually is.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
I don't know that I would go that far, but at the very least he has some sort of personality beyond obvious wish-fulfillment fantasy stand-in.
I wonder if maybe harem mc's are so far gone that any time they react anywhere close to realistically I consider them tolerable.
ZZ Gundam 23
Wow, Glemy Toto just graduated to High King of Jerks. "It's just your fate [to burn up during reentry] Puru." WOW.
Also I can't tell if I've lost my mind or if I'm just legitimately enjoying ZZ Gundam more than Zeta, even if I prefer Kamile and the Zeta to Judau and the ZZ.

Well, considering the material that you've been exposing yourself to no-one would be shocked if it transpired that that was indeed the case.

Yep, his sanity is as good as forfeit.
I'll give you the character's changed somewhat, sad that that's a thing that's rare but, I still think he sucks.
For one, his competence. Yes, he does seem to not be a total moron but I'm having trouble deciding if he's just smart or if they've made all the girls around him exceptionally stupid.
I already stated I just don't get his initial motivations. It all seemed to basically boil down to "I just want to check out the chicks and instead the Captain thinks I'm hard working and threw more responsibility on me," to which he decided that of all the things he could do to avoid such things he wished instead to be able to express his perverted desires. Ok, looks like he's not so competent.
Then he's apparently a healthy young boy interested in girls who, seemingly, wants nothing to do with any of them? All the girls he interacts with were initially just to get his facade back, yeah, ok. :shrug:
And like I said, he is kind of an asshole, having erotic thoughts is one thing, when your initial instinct is to call a girl flat you're an ass.
Tsukiko's too good for that loser.

Hentai ouji is like a totally flawed character.
His only main point is that beside his perversions he is not an asshole and actually care about the stuff he does.
